Altamaha to Wahoo River to Redbird Creek to Cooper River by Karen Posey - May 4-6, 2015
















Now switching gears, who knew that cows could survive in the salt marshes of Georgia!

It was fun to see a shrimp boat up close and personal, but no sign of Forrest or Captain Dan.

We met up with our friend Mario and his boat Samara several times during the trip. Samara is a 32-foot Endeavor, just like Murph's sailboat.

We fueled up at Kilkenny Marina, Georgia. Not exactly your image of a full-service marina. Call it rustic? shabby? You pick the descriptor.

We anchored in the narrow Redbird Creek at low tide. Notice the mud in front of the salt marshes... Believe it or not, that mud plus most of the grass is covered at high tide. The yellow hue of the grasses as sunset approached was unexpected but beautiful. At sunset, as the tide rose, the water filled the small creek that cut through the grasses.
